Discover opportunities in travel retail liquor sector
The more enlightened liquor suppliers and operators are endeavouring to raise penetration and conversion rates - both woefully low - of traditional and non-traditional consumers. This represents an enormous opportunity, still to be fully tapped. The good news is that the underlying travel retail liquor business remains healthy. The long-term forecast is one of continued growth in travel and tourism. Coming soon: the latest report from just-drinks/IWSR will provide you with background, analysis and insight into the global travel retail liquor sector. If you would like me to contact you as soon as this report is available, please email me.
The core objective of this report is to examine the current state of the global alcoholic drinks industry, including any impact that the continued global economic uncertainty is having on market performance. In addition to providing a global overview of market performance, the report also analyses performance by product sector and geographic region, the state of the global competitive landscape, performance by retail distribution format, key trends and developments and global prospects and opportunities.
The high intensity sweeteners category is undergoing significant change at present. The progress of sucralose has caused major changes in the shape of the market over the past ten years or so and, more recently, the introduction of stevia has opened up new opportunities in sugar replacement. This report explores the latest trends and developments in the use of high intensity (or non-nutritive) sweeteners in the global soft drinks market, which accounts for 56% of total volume consumption of this ingredient category.
The volume of information available regarding ethical and environmental issues has manifested in a growing number of global consumers not only acknowledging the urgency of such problems, but accepting personal responsibility to address them. In turn, industry players have acknowledged that environmentalism is now a key battleground in the fight to win the hearts and minds of consumers.
This report is based on trends observed in terms of changing Indian lifestyles, increasing health and wellness awareness and consumers' food and beverage product choices. It's aimed at enabling the NPD and marketing team in FMCG companies to identify potentials in terms of product formulation and packaging, and emerging consumer segments.
Alcoholic drinks were previously considered by many to be relatively immune from recessions. This is not the case upon closer investigation of the spirits market, which by its nature, is a more premium sector than beer or wine. The processing, the ingredients, the high alcohol by volume content, all contribute to a more expensive product in general. This report is written with a focus on the next two years, following in-depth analysis of NPD, branding and marketing activity that has occurred in the global spirits market over the past three to four years. The report offers actionable strategies for spirits brands with insight into new product launches, marketing campaigns and flavours/ingredients developments.
This case study on Innocent Drinks explores business practices across a variety of disciplines and business sectors. It focuses on the company's achievements as it copes with recession, competition and takeovers. Reasons to purchase:
Across Asia, population and economic growth is driving considerable change as many country markets mature, an emergent middle class continues to grow and rapid urbanisation has taken place.

Consumption per head is falling in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, as well as Japan and many other countries, and this trend is expected to continue over at least the next five years. There is also a shift taking place in the types of alcohol consumed. The consumption of beer/cider/FABs is declining in most western countries whereas wine is generally perceived as a healthier alcoholic drink and so consumption in many countries is rising. We have already seen the emergence of significant low/no alcohol and low/no calorie segments. Expect to see growth in organic/natural, low/no carbohydrate and functional segments, as well as more responsible drinking campaigns and a marketing focus on quality over quantity.

Asian speciality drinks are dominated by Asian still RTD tea products, with green tea the most significant product within. A combination of market saturation, a cooler summer in 2009 as well as consumers looking to cut costs by avoiding the RTD category and making their own beverages at home all contributed to a significant slide in sales for this sector and consequently the category as a whole.

Commodity prices of tea were very dynamic and all players had to increase their unit prices in 2009. The rise in prices has resulted in loose tea losing out to small local tea manufacturers, as it has been able to absorb the rise in costs. The price points of local tea players have been close to those of loose tea, and as such these small regional players have seen some growth. There has also been a continuous shift of consumers from unbranded loose tea to branded packet tea.
